45010 leads a long unfitted freight mainly composed of what appears to be rake of sixteen-ton mineral wagons past the site of Irchester's closed station taken from the former goods yard. The distant signal is controlled by Irchester South signal box some distance from this location thus would be motorised, hence the absence of trackside signalling wires. The Peak would remain in service for another five years being withdrawn in March 1985 and eventually being cut up at Springburn (Glasgow) by January 1989.
